CanadianHot100

The Canadian Hot 100 is a music chart published weekly by Billboard magazine in Canada. It ranks the 100 most popular songs in Canada, determined by a combination of digital sales, radio airplay, and streaming data. The chart was first introduced on June 11, 2007, replacing the broader Canadian Singles Chart.

The methodology for the Canadian Hot 100 aims to reflect overall song popularity across various consumption methods. Digital sales are tracked by Nielsen SoundScan, while radio airplay is monitored by Nielsen BDS. Streaming data is also a significant component, contributing to a song's overall ranking. Songs are ranked based on a weighted formula that takes these metrics into account.

The Canadian Hot 100 has become the standard for tracking single-song success in Canada. It allows artists, labels, and fans to gauge the popularity of songs and identify emerging trends in the Canadian music market. The chart is updated weekly and is widely referenced in music industry discussions and media coverage. Its introduction provided a more comprehensive and up-to-date measure of song performance compared to previous metrics.
